Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Iban.

Shadow Council.

...

Queen of the Summer Islands.

Asha Greyjoy and her lovers were also startled awake.

...

Everywhere in the world, wherever the sun's rays could reach, was gripped by fear.

In King's Landing, however, half of the sun had disappeared in just a short time.

"Someone come here!"

"Tell 'Blackfish' Brynden Tully to close all the gates of King's Landing!"

"Maintain order in the capital!"

"No chaos allowed!"

Inside the Red Keep, Viserys had gradually recovered from his shock, and then orders flowed out from the Red Keep like a stream.

No matter what happens, the most urgent thing is to maintain stability. Right now, Viserys can imagine how chaotic the outside world must be without even leaving his home.

At first, he thought it was a solar eclipse, but when he thought about it carefully, he realized that the people of this world seemed to have no records of any solar eclipses.

Is there no solar eclipse in this world?

Or is this phenomenon occurring too infrequently?

However, considering the world's unpredictable and chaotic seasonal changes, a summer and a winter can last for several years, while spring and autumn often last only a year.

Viserys had every reason to receive a chilling answer.

"Could it be...?"

"Has the long night fallen?"

However, in Viserys's memory, the year 299 of Aegon's calendar should have been during the War of the Five Kings. Winter may have already quietly arrived, but the Long Night had not yet come.

Why did this change occur?

What are the underlying principles governing how this world operates?

Are these all the will of the gods? Or the selection of nature? Or the power of the magical tides?

However, even Viserys couldn't understand the chaotic rules of this world.

"His Majesty!"

"Something terrible has happened!"

Then Dr. Marvin, the Grand Secretary of the court, arrived in haste, carrying a letter from the Academy City.

However, the letter had already lost its purpose, and the scholars speculated that the disordered celestial phenomena might indicate that natural disasters or man-made calamities had already occurred.

"Dr. Marwin, are you familiar with solar eclipses?"

Viserys, wearing a coat, saw Dr. Marvin arrive and asked him directly.

Sure enough, the erudite Dr. Marvin looked completely bewildered.

It was obvious that he had never heard of a solar eclipse.

Chapter 774 Blockade of the King's Landing

thump—

thump—

thump—

Then the bells of the Great Cathedral of St. Baelor began to ring, echoing throughout King's Landing.

This is a bell that is only rung for weddings, funerals, and other important events for members of the royal family and important figures in the empire.

As the Archbishop of the Church of the Seven, Aegon, wearing a crystal crown and holding a scepter, felt somewhat lost and bewildered at this moment.

He didn't know what he should do, yet he was the archbishop, regarded as the representative of the gods on earth, and now all the monks and priests in the sanctuary were looking to him.

Aegon had to do something at this time.

"Tell everyone, there's no need to panic."

"The Seven Gods will protect everyone..."

Therefore, Aegon could only swallow and speak.

He placed all his hopes on the gods in heaven, and he ordered the ancient bells of the Great Cathedral to be rung, hoping to awaken the gods' attention to the mortal world and bring back the lost sun.

Meanwhile, in the streets of King's Landing, the bells of the Great Cathedral of St. Baelor rang incessantly. Some people heard the bells and, as if finding hope, knelt down and began to pray aloud.

When someone started it, the other believers in the Seven Gods also knelt down and prayed, because at that moment they didn't know what they could do, so they could only kneel down and pray, hoping that the Seven Gods could protect them.

...

"Someone come here!"

"Your Majesty has an order!"

"Close the city gates!"

Meanwhile, Ser Brynden Tully, the Commander-in-Chief of the Capital Garrison, donned his armor and armor, his hand on his sword hilt, and ascended the walls of King's Landing's Iron Gate before issuing a stern order.

He had received orders from the Red Keep, commanding the Emperor to dispatch all the city's garrison soldiers to maintain order in the capital and prevent any chaos or unrest.

At the same time, the seven gates of King's Landing were closed to prevent the people from the outer city from flooding into the inner city and disrupting the security of King's Landing.

Today, with the rise in urban status and the expansion of the city's scale, King's Landing has gradually formed an outer city outside the city walls.

"Close the city gates!"

"Close the city gates!"

Brynden Tully's orders were passed down the chain of command, with the lowest-ranking soldiers of the capital city guard driving away the civilians near the city gates with spears and shields, while simultaneously pulling the hinges to close the gates, producing a sickening metallic scraping sound.

"Back off!"

"Back off!"

"Those who storm the city gates shall die!"

However, many people were now in a panic. Some wanted to rush into the city, while others wanted to flee out of the city. It was only when they saw the blood that they calmed down.

Several young men, relying on their strength, attempted to break through the ranks of the capital's garrison soldiers and seize their weapons, but were killed on the spot.

Rumbling--

Then all seven gates of King's Landing slammed shut with a deafening roar.

...

The sun has completely disappeared.

The whole world was plunged into a dark and gloomy place.

The Valyrian Empire's capital city was finally forced back to calm under the soldiers' suppression.

All the people were ordered to return to their homes and close their doors. Soldiers were stationed at every intersection in the streets, holding torches to dispel the darkness and bring a faint light.

However, although the imperial soldiers were rigorously trained and still carried out their officers' orders strictly to suppress all resistance and unrest, their faces were also filled with bewilderment.

Because they didn't know what had happened either.

The sun has been gone for several hours, but there is no sign of it returning.

Is the end of the world coming?

Everyone felt uneasy, even asking themselves this question.

However, no one had an answer, and they didn't even know if this was happening only in their area or if it was happening all over the world.

Fortunately, even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up.

This was especially true of the soldiers who had survived the war between humans and the White Walkers.

He would never forget that scene: a lone dragon, charging alone towards the rear of the army of the dead.

"Your Majesty the Emperor!"

One of the officers in the Capital Garrison, who was missing a hand, pursed his lips slightly, then turned his head and looked with fervent eyes at the still brightly lit Red Keep on Aegon Hill in the distance.

He believed that even in the end of the world, His Majesty the Emperor would be the only light for all mankind.

To lead the world out of this crisis.

It is clear that Viserys' limited faith power was contributed by the soldiers he had once conquered.

...

And inside the Red Castle.

Viserys was still wearing his pajamas, with a simple coat over them, and was pacing around the room.

They hadn't even had time to tidy up the down-filled bed that Margaery Tyrell had made a mess of.

He stood in his bedroom, wearing the Valyrian steel crown on his head, his sword Twilight hanging on the wall not far away, and then turned around and spoke.

"So, the current situation is..."

"Has the long night truly descended?"

The senior members of Viserys's council are now gathered in his bedroom.

The throne room in the Red Keep was also packed with people, mostly nobles and their families seeking refuge. When a crisis occurred, their first thought was to run to the Red Keep for refuge.

With nowhere else to go, and the world now dark and without sun or moon, they dared not leave the city. At least they had so many people to keep them company in the city.

Humans are, after all, social animals; the more people there are, the safer we feel.

Where is the safest place in King's Landing?

It's undoubtedly the Red Fort.
